Do You Need Oil for Gua Sha?

You can use a gua sha on the face, body and scalp, and it's best to use with water or an oil – but never on bare skin. ... Hold the gua sha tool with the curved side to your face and glide it gently up and out, starting with the neck, jawline, chin and around the mouth, between three and five times per area.

What oil should I use for gua sha?

You can use any kind of oil. My favorite is a rosehip oil, always cold-pressed. Elemis' Superfood oil is also fab for this. Gua sha is de-bloating, de-puffing, detoxifying, and it's anti-aging.

Can you use moisturizer for gua sha?

All you need is a gua sha tool, a face mist (a hydrosol like rose water is great), and some facial oil to get started. You can also use a serum or moisturiser in place of the oil. This is recommended to reduce friction so that your tool can glide smoothly on your skin.
